In this niodified'c'onstruction, each o f'the sections 28, of the dust-trap block is .provided on its 'tlat or inner surface with a ownwardly extendedv channel '16, for the reception of vthe body 17,*fand 'withan up? wardly disposed' channel 1S?, for the recp. f tion. and retention of the upper portion of the reed 22, and its tongue.- .The channels 16, and 183,. arel connected by a curved channeled eXtensionQI, which las vis clearly shown in Fig. 4, of the drawing, is extended `a considerableidistance below theupperpor# tion of the'v channel 18a, thus forming in said portion laftrap .or receptacle 'for the collection of' dust. When the modified form shown in Fig. 4f,v and above described, is ein# ployed, it is apparent that the two'sections 28, may have 4.at-their 'upper ends annular anges-l", and that said sections may be se# 25 cured together with -their'tlat faces in which 'l the-channels 16a, 1 8, and 21, are formed,

reception of a screw, rivet, or bolt used for securely uniting the ltwo sections.

- From the foregoing and by' reference to.

the dr'awingr it will be readily understood and clearly seen, that by employinga reed .pipe vconstructed accordlng to my invention, the 'dust which .collects in the body 17, and

asses therethrough -willbe trapped in the construction shown in .F 1 is employed,.
